Stacey's middle son had finally worked up the courage to have his face painted. She wanted to document this "first" time so creating with the Webster's Page's 'Once Upon A Halloween' collection was a perfect fit for his little spider face. Stacey loved the spider transparency and just had to add her own spiderwebs. She finished it off by layering the Cameos and Petals.

Here Leeann has used the park drive collection by Webster’s. Leeann loves the simpler patterns and solid colour designs and finds then much easier to work with. Leeann used the printed circles as an embellishment on the page and punch a few of them out and mounted then using 3D foam tape which gave them extra dimension.

Thanks to Anabelle O’Malley for this sweetest ever Halloween card – how would that not make you smile if you were given it?.

We would like to thank Rachael funnel for letting us share a couple of her pages which provide plenty of fussy cutting details and layered embellishments using park drive by Webster’s. You can see more of Rachael’s work here.

Erin Blegen shares this wonderful layout on the Websters’s Blog with a fabulous tutorial for fussy cutting elements here. We love how she has combined Winter Fairy Tales and Once Upon a Halloween to produce both pretty colours and strong contrast.

Websters DT Member Jaz Lee has made brilliant use of the Game On collection to produce this fab page, which shows us Webster’s isn’t just all about girly deliciousness. We love how she has layered so many elements right in the centre of the page, including an ‘edited’ version of the Keep Calm and Scrap On cameo!

And how about something from the Royal Christmas line, by Websters Designer Stacey Michaud. We love how she added her journalling strips to the stars and added perfect little details like the lace and the crown on her daughters head.

Finally, if you’re still in need of Christmas Card inspiration, look no further than this post on the Websters blog -whether you like them simple and element like Anabelle O’Malleys (top) or layered and full of detail like Erin Blegen (below).

Leeann says she’s not much of a fussy cutter but was keen to have ago and Webster’s patterned papers provide you with the most gorgeous fairlytale like images. Leeann has used mainly the Ladies & Gents line of patterned papers and embellishments. It was just a matter of fussy cutting out everything and then arranging and layering. The fabric blooms are gorgeous and add a beautiful softness to the page.

The combination of muted tones in the Webster's Pages "Clean and Simple" line and the bright romantic patterns in the "Classic" line provides a crafter with the perfect mix of background papers and elements which can be hand-cut and layered. Aussie Scrap Source designer Iris Uy who is also a member of the Webster's Design Team shares with us a layout featuring the classically beautiful and romantic "Everyday Poetry" collection. You can also see here some of the new embellishments from Webster's.

Here is another layout from Iris Uy this time featuring the stunning, recently released (currently on preorder!) "Girl Land" collection.

Stacey Michaud is part of the "Clean and Simple" design team for Webster's Pages. Here she shows us how to make a stunning page with the new "Palm Beach" line with a clean and simple approach to design. She loves to use Webster's journaling cards and she started building the layout using this embellishment. She then added the chevron pattern to give the layout some moment. Thank you Stacey for this great idea on how to make simple yet stunning pages with Webster's pages products!

Someone who knows exactly what to do with Webster’s patterned papers is this amazing lady Brit Sviggum. She is so incredibly talented with a very unique style. All of her pages are like fairly tale stories starring her children and each page is filled with detail and layers. Thank you so much Brit for letting us share some of your amazing pages. You can see more of her work here.

Gabrielle Pollaco created a stunning work of art with the new "In Love" paper collection. Soft colours, beautiful patterns, romantic embellishments - all in one artfully designed page.

Finally, feel free to gape in awe at this gorgeous layout by Webster’s DT member, Emma Trout. (We might have!) She has created a tutorial for this subtle rainbow page over on the Webster’s blog, here.

2012 will be the first year in 9 years stay at home Mum Georgia will not have a little one home during the day, so when we asked Georgia to do a page about her new year’s resolutions for 2012 she sat down to think and realised not only did she not have any, she had no idea where to even start!

Georgia initially chose to use Webster’s Pages All About Me simply because of the title, but when she looked closer she fell in love with the colours and the huge range of embellishments. Georgia can never resist navy and so chose the pale blue background to allow the navy bloomers and silhouette to stand out. By choosing a black and white photo, Georgia was able to add splashes of red and lime green to add even more pop.

Iris has been creating with Webster's pages for several years now and she loves how versatile their papers are. The line used for this page is "Botanical Christmas" but it still works well for a non holiday themed photo.

For this page, Danielle combined Websters Pages' All About Me range of papers and alphabet stickers with the trims from their Western Romance range. Patterned papers are cut into strips to create an alternative background, and one corner has been folded over the matted photo to show an additional pattern. Danielle's page title on this layout about her parents started off brief, in theory, but then became one long sentence using all the different sizes on Websters Pages alphabet sticker sheet!

Emma Trout, a design team member for Webster's pages is from the UK where she lives with her husband and two teenage boys. 'Fun' is a layout about her featuring the "Western Romance" papers. She has a childish, fun side to her personality and she used the beautiful designs in this collection to express just that. The quote strip says " Growing older is no excuse for growing up!"

'This second layout from Emma "House Believes" features the gorgeous designs of the 'Botanical Christmas' collection. She wanted to pick out the non-traditional colours in the collection and layer them together to create a whimsical page. She also used lots of Webster's Pages trims on this page. Thank you Emma for sharing with our readers your beautiful creations!

Gerry Van Gent is another designer for Webster's Pages and is based in Netherlands. We just love how she effectively uses the papers from Webster's which may be looked upon as girly and frilly at first but actually still works well for photos of her little charming boy.

Here is another stunning example of how Gerry uses Webster's Pages papers for a boy page. Just adorable!! Thank you Gerry for the inspiration!

Finally, Deborah created this mixed media piece using a lot of Websters Pages papers, some stamping and gorgeous paint techniques.

Kathie has used the Yacht Club collection to scrap a school holiday outing to a local portside suburb. It was a glorious winter’s day and the sun shone off the water. Kathie’s son and his friend walked along the wharf, hand in hand, and deep in conversation (usually about the latest Wii games!!).

When Kathie saw the image of two little boys playing on one of the Yacht Club papers, she reflected on the joy her son had playing with his friend that day, and knew she wanted the image to form the main embellishment of her page.

The page background was created by overlaying two patterned papers from the collection, and then painting over them with a wash of acrylic paint in blues and creams. Kathie loves using patterned paper for her backgrounds and will often apply a wash of paint to busy papers to create a more subtle background. To emphasise the image of the two little boys Kathie used dimensional tape to pop them up off the page.

Webster's Pages adds another line of beautiful embellishments to their collection - the Dazzle Me Gems! It only takes a little of these gems to bring even more life and beauty to your pages.

Iris shows here how one can maximize the use of Webster's Pages Papers - and that is by cutting out the patterns and turning it into embellishments. A little foam tape under the cut out papers does wonders in adding dimension to your pages. She also cut out the bloomers trim here and turned it into individual roses.

This is a page created by Webster's Pages DT member Jaz Lee Soo Hui. Jaz Love the beautiful blings and the Let's Celebrate Collection and she created this to celebrate the everyday joy and love she has for her daughter Faith.

Stacey Michaud is another designer for Webster's Pages. Her layout "Thrills and Frills" showcases the new Western Romance line. Stacey loves this collection because of its soft color palette. The B-sides have beautiful patterns and the A-sides give lots of fussy cutting options. She hand cut the clothesline with the dresses to add as a banner and used new netting, Sparklers, Cameo Pins, Resin Hearts and Dazzle Me Gems to add finishing touches.

Gerry van Gent from the Netherlands has skilfully mixed four collections - Yacht Club, Spring Market, Country Estate and Lullaby Lane - to create this fresh, bright page. We admired how she’s used paints and hand stitching to pull the various elements together. And her use of the Vintage Inspired Netting is so clever - little netting hearts strewn across the top of the page create a whimsical floaty garland.

This layout is by Steph Devlin. Steph shows that the Yacht Club range is not just for masculine layouts. In her unmistakable style, she has used it to create a super elegant page of her daughter. The page is actually a hybrid layout, with digital images from Country Estate and Yacht Club added to the paper elements.

Emma Trout, UK, applies her distinctive style to Webster’s Pages with this final layout. Emma says that she loves the versatility of Webster’s Pages, and she certainly demonstrates it here with a combination of Trendsetter, Country Estate, Ladies & Gents, Lullaby Lane and Hollywood Vogue collections. Emma’s also used the packaging from some Vintage Netting as a frame under her bottom strip of photos.

Suz used the softness of the Hollywood Vogue colour palette to showcase the drama of this photo of her daughter, who routinely likes to dress and apply make up for no other reason than for her mother to take photos… this was the evil fairy look.

As her expression so perfectly suited that of the gargoyle, Suz cut out some of the design of the patterned paper, inked and adhered it with foam tape to stand out a little from the page. She has made use of the beautiful co-ordinating Fabric Ribbon and trims, and created her own flower from them as well as adding a few Prima ones.

Kathie has used Webster’s Pages’ Lullaby Lane collection to create a set of beautiful vintage styled nursery cards. The images on the Lullaby Lane patterned papers lend themselves beautifully to cards. With a bit of fussy cutting and some distress inking to enhance the vintage feel, Kathie’s fashioned together a delicate baby card, a magical birthday card for a little princess, and a fun boy’s first birthday card.

Secretly, Kathie’s quite glad that most of her friends have finished having babies and most of the kids are heading off to school, as she’s not sure that she could bear to be parted with these cards now that she’s finished them. They might just sit on display at her house for a while.

Jeni O’Connor is an Australian living in Canada at the moment. We fell in love with the work she’s been doing with Webster’s Pages Spring Market Collection. Today we feature two of her layouts. In her layout, “Spring Dance”, Jeni has made great use of the vellum sheet that forms part of the Spring Market range. She’s cut the sheet in two and re-assembled it to better suit her layout design but you wouldn’t know because it’s been done so skilfully.

Jeni’s “This is the Life” layout is vibrant and eclectic with its fussy cut accents and carefree splatter painting on the background. You might notice that the photo on this layout has a particularly arty feel to it. Jeni tells us that she applied beeswax to it, to give it texture. She’s making a video about the technique, which is due to appear on the My Creative Scrapbook website if you are interested in trying it.

Nadia Cannizzo, in Sydney has created this next layout using the Sweet Season collection. The photo treatment in Nadia’s page caught our eye – those colourful lollipops really do stand out against the high key black and white photos. Nadia’s clustered stickers from the image sticker sheet with tulle, lace and flowers. She even topped one of the stickers with white beads - they look good enough to eat.

And now we thank all of the Webster’s design team who allowed us to share some of their own fantastic layouts to further inspire you.

From Anabelle O’Malley: This layout is about my sweet friend and her husband on their wedding day. I used the new Ladies and Gents line on it. The papers are perfect for handcutting elements and I love the beautiful colors. I used one of the new Fabric Tickets along with some of the new fabric Threads and a Pinwheel flower.

Angella Peardon: Using Country Estate, base card was crackled then decorated.... I wanted to create a whimsical easter card for giving.

Emeline Seet: On this layout, I used left over Webster's Pages pattern papers from cut outs, punch out negatives. The papers are double sided and so well coordinated; piecing them together is a breeze!

Emma Trout: This layout uses the new Webster's Pages Yacht Club line (and a little Ladies & Gents). I mixed traditional patterned papers with Webster's digital images printed onto white cardstock. I guess I am dabbling in the world of hybrid scrapping too! I love how soft this line can be when mixed with a white cardstock background. As always, the designs of this range are simply beautiful.

Gabrielle Pollacco: I just love the Webster's Pages Ladies & Gents collection, it's got all the elements that we've come to love from Webster's pages, beautiful botanicals, bold designs and I just love the embellishments that are offered to coordinate, ...lovely cameo's (Whimsies), pretty trims and the new Princess Petals, love them! For this layout of my youngest daughter I wanted to emphasize the out doors so I added loads of paper butterflies to embellish the page.

My name is Gerry van Gent ( http://gerryscrafts.blogspot.com ) and I attached my layout "Follow Me". For this layout I used two of the new WP collections "Ladies & Gents" and "Country Estate". My layout was based on a canvas sheet layered with Gesso and Glimmer Mist. I did lots of fussy cutting and hand-stitching.

Ivana Camdzic: I created this layout using the beautiful NEW Spring Market and Yacht Club collections from Webster's Pages. I thought that the yellow and green hues perfectly complemented the lush nature of the Tuscan landscape. I loved how easy it was to mix and match papers from different collections to create a layout that is unique and fitting to my photo. I also love how the stunning papers lend themselves to so many possibilities, and on this layout, I used different cutting methods (stenciling and fussy cutting) to layer all the beautiful colors and shapes in a framed fashion around the photo. To finish off the layout, I added in a couple of sparklers and whimsies, as well as my fave cardstock alphas - Webster's Pages Storytellers! Hope this inspires you to get creative today!

Jaz Lee Soo Hui This is a layout of me and two of my kids {although I have 3 kiddos hehe}. Featuring Webster's Pages Spring Market collection. Did lots of cutouts from the beautiful papers and layerings ;)

I am Julie Walton and I am on the digital team for Websters Pages. I am sharing a layout with you that is 100% digital using the new collection, Spring Market. When I create pages digitally I like to make them look as if they are paper layouts, so I will do alot of shadowing, layering and cutting, just as you would do with a paper layout. I am a lover of the backsides of papers, and with this layout I did exactly that, used the backside. Since it was busy I put down some paint first and then my design, the paint really helps the design pop and not get lost in the pattern. These are my two sweet grandkids, Jenna and Trevor with Sadie, our newest yard friend...they love her! I love having the flexibility of having the Webster's Pages papers in digital format because I can use them over and over and never run out!! Be sure to check out the InspireMe site for monthly digital challenges!!!

Larissa Albernaz: Here’s my layout "Life´s Portrait" - a Webster´s Pages hybrid layout using the new digi Country Estate collection, Spring Market botanical cards and Life´s Portrait in which I portrayed myself and told about the way I felt at that moment of my life - a sad moment. I added some paint splatters, cut outs and a lot of layers to create this page.

My name is Laura McCollough and I'm on the Webster's Pages Design Team. Here is a layout I made about my dream to have a home on Lake Como in Italy!! We have stayed in Bellagio, Italy the last two summers and have fallen in love with Lake Como. We plan to go back this summer as well and always have fun looking at homes on the lake and dreaming...

My name is Mitsue Iwata, one of the DT member for Webster's Pages. This layout is created using the the latest digital collection, Ladies' & Gents Line with the super newest digital tag "Love" as the title. This digital tag will be released on April 1st, 2011. I think this collection represents the image of Webster's Pages and love the vintage touch to the design.

Stacy Michaud: I used the bright and very fun Trendsetter collection on this layout! Icreated a banner using the fabric tags and stickers. I’m always so inspired by all the little elements that Webster's has to offer!

From Steph Devlin. She used the Trendsetter Line above and Country Estate Line & Embellishments in “Pure Love”

Caz chose the beautiful Webster's Life's Portrait Embellishments to create this layout about her daughters 15th Birthday afternoon tea. She wanted to use the black frame to group 3 of the photos together but found it was too small. Caz simply spliced it across the top diagonally and stretched it to enclose all of the photos.

Sue loved working with the new Webster's Pages embellishments, especially that gorgeous ribbon. It certainly makes a statement on any page. The cute sparklers are lovely for accenting different aspects of the papers too.

This beautiful tribute by Alicia from Ohio is about her eldest daughter, Candace. Alicia says "She is just amazing me lately at how helpful she has been to me since I've been back to work full-time. She cleans the house and organizes cluttered areas of the house and is even doing some cooking for me before I get home from work. She just turned 12! I am so proud of the young woman she is becoming... and wanted to let her know that."

Alicia used a mix of Webster’s 'Postcards from Paris' and 'Home for the Holidays' Collection showing how well the collections work together. Thanks so much for letting us share your beautiful work Alicia.

Amy Tara Koeppel is the talented designer behind this fabulously vibrant layout. Amy's use of the Webster's Pages embellishments is nothing short of spectacular. Thank you so much Amy for allowing us to show your layout.

A big thankyou to Marina from California for sharing her gorgeous 7gypsies altered tray with us. Marina has mixed the lovely Webster's Garden Gala and Life's Portrait ranges and added some of the beautiful Prima flowers and bling to it. Thanks again Marina

These beautiful altered jars were created by the very talented Karola Witczac. She has used papers from Webster's Pages Life's Portrait collection, along with the amazing bloomers, vintage sparklers and one of the cameos. Aren't they divine? Thanks Karola for allowing us to share your creations.

The new CHA 2010 release Webster’s is just the most glorious range of patterned paper, vellum, embellishments and trims. So for a simple scrapbooker like Louise she was in total creative overload. These beautiful products lend themselves to not only layouts and cards, but also to OTP's and home decor items.

For this particular layout Louise first created a background with Glimmer Mist and punches. She then punched out flower shapes from the vellum to help create the look of a garden.

She has also cut the decorative flower border from the vellum to further embellish her layout. To add visual interest to the bottom punched edge she has randomly rubbed on remnants of the Hambly metallic gold rub-ons.

With the next three layouts Louise has punched out and cut varying shapes from the Garden Gala patterned paper and vellum to decorate and create embellishments for her pages.

The Garland pattern in the Garden Gala range of papers are just the most perfect embellishment, when cut from the paper.

As you can see in the above layout, the gold edged trim makes a beautiful matt for Louise's photo.

The glorious trims that coordinate with the Garden Gala range provided just the perfect embellishment for Louise when it came to making a Thank You card and gift box set; for a work colleague. She has also decorated the envelope to make it a truly coordinated gift set.

Although Steph has scrapped this photo of her and Madison before, she couldn't resist the new range of baby papers from Webster’s Pages. The soft blues, apricots and browns are perfect for baby and add a classy feminine touch to any page.

For this trademark Gorgeous layout our own Steph Devlin has created a truly beautiful layout of her gorgeous daughter. also showcasing the new Webster’s patterned paper releases. Steph has coordinated these timeless papers with stunning effect with lovely lovely Prima flowers, and divine Tattered Angels glimmer misting and masking.

Postcards from Paris is one of Janine’s favourite paper ranges with its beautiful colours and soft floral images. Janine used the paper to inspire her, creating a flow from the cut out floral elements and finishing it off by adding lots of layers to the dress form.

For some wonderful Webster's Inspiration 2 of the wonderful design Team, Lucy Edson and our own Steph Devlin have shared with us their glorious Webster Creations. First up is the glorious layout by Lucy featuring the new Garden Gala Range of patterned papers. Lucy has coordinated this range perfectly and ever so beautifully in this layout of her daughter. Thank you very much Lucy for sharing.

These beautiful cards were created by the talented Karola Witczak. She has a beautiful elegant style that mixes perfectly with the Webster’s Pages paper line and these samples using Postcards from Paris are no exception.

Kathie recently re-established contact with the German family with whom she stayed as an Exchange Student when she was a teenager. One of her host sisters, who she hasn’t seen for almost twenty years, found her on Facebook. It’s no surprise that her mind was on all things wintery and frosty as she contemplated this cute little mini album from Twiddleybitz. That year was the first and last time she experienced a White Christmas.

Kathie’s used a combination of two Webster’s Pages lines - Home for the Holidays and Winter’s Wings – to decorate the little album. A touch of Pink Paislee’s Mistletoe and Co papers here and there adds depth and contrast.

The new release Twiddleybitz Tweeny Bitz pieces work really well in an album of this size. They would also be ideal for Christmas cards, and Artist Trading Cards. Here, the Snowflakes and Christmas Trees have been used. Kathie has sprayed them liberally with Glimmer Mist to give them a frosty sheen, and then daubed on some more glitter for good measure!

In fact, the entire album is sprinkled with loads of glitter and BasicGrey rhinestones. They add to the frostiness of the winter landscapes, and the glitter gives the project a delightful vintage feel when applied to the foliage and roses cut from the Webster’s papers. Feathers add softness, while twine, fabric and Webster’s trims lend a cosy feel.

December 20, 2009

Webster's Pages Winter's Wings, is such a beautiful, whimsical alternative to a Red and Green Christmas. With its gentle creams, mints and olives, this story is both elegant and easy on the eye when creating a layout. Steph has used nearly all the Papers from the range and cut the word Beautiful from the Webster's Pages Vellum that is available.

This sheer vellum lets you look at the layers underneath and offers some texture to enhance your layout. Steph also scanned the little swan that is on her second page and made it larger to compliment the original. This way, she ended up with 2 swans and the effect that she wanted on the page. The journalling calendar card is another addition that adds extra interest to her double layout.

December 12, 2009

Like many others, Nic mentioned she finds it hard to create Christmas layouts after the festive season has come and gone. She decided to be one step ahead this year, with this double layout created with the help of a Becky Fleck Pagemap from Jan09.

With photos from Christmas Day planned for this layout, Nic wanted a soft yet not too childish range of papers and the Websters Pages "Home for the Holidays" was perfect for this.

Nic started with a base of plain BasicGrey papers and built layers of soft pinks and reds from the Webster's Pages range. The addition of some golds and soft greens added to the gentle feel, with the distressed edges making a Christmas layout with a distinctly vintage feeling. Flowers, lamp post, deer and scrolls are all cut from the Webster's paper, with the title from BasicGrey. Notice the final Christmas touches in the way of the glitter on many of the elements, this layout sits ready for photos!
